I assume you mean the mcd device driver. Note that your soundcard does NOTHING with regards to CD audio other than serve as a mixing board. You do not need to have a driver loaded for CD audio to work (assuming that your sound board's CD input volume is umuted). If you wish to play digital audio files, then yes you need to have the driver configured. For an SB16, you'll need to build a new kernel with controller pnp0 then use the standard snd0/sb0 devices to set it up (consult the LINT configuration file). See the Handbook if you need help on building a kernel.
